I watched Escape from Pretoria yesterday. Lots of actors trying to get accents right :)

I watched that movie and I enjoyed it

Its one of the few Apartheid movies that highlights the reality and nuance of Apartheid  where not all white people agreed or believed in the system but you lived in a police state and there was a real fear of Communism which was used to label anti-Apartheid activists 

 

"Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss”

Got a fancy new computer.  Instantly stopped wanting to play video games.  Decided to play Dune.  It was alright, got bored.  Now I am playing franchise hockey manager, which is basically an excel spreadsheet game... making good use of that expensive computer.
